[David Andrews]

>
>Greetings and felicitations:
>
>People who attend conventions of the National Federation of the Blind often
>receive benefits that are not available anywhere else. For example, last
>year, at our 2014 national convention, Federationists were able to obtain a
>free iBill currency reader long before anyone else in the country.
>
>At this year's convention of the National Federation of the Blind, Freedom
>Scientific, maker of the well-known JAWS, MAGic, and OpenBook programs, is
>wishing the National Federation of the Blind a happy 75th birthday by
>offering these programs at a tremendous discount. These discounts are
>available only to registered attendees of the convention and only if they
>visit the Freedom Scientific booth in the convention exhibit hall. You can
>hear about this on FS Cast #108, available for download at
>http://podcast.freedomscientific.com/FSCast/episodes/FSCast108-Mark_Riccobon

>Here are the details:
>
>1.         A brand new copy of JAWS 16 home user edition will be available
>for $75. A service maintenance agreement will cost only $100; this will
>ensure that you are able to obtain the next two versions of JAWS: versions
>17 and 18. Normally, the home edition of JAWS sells for $895.
>2.         If you own an older copy of JAWS, regardless of its age, you will
>be able to upgrade to the home edition of JAWS 16 for $50. As with the brand
>new copy, a service maintenance agreement is available for $100. Anyone who
>has ever had to pay for an upgrade to his/her JAWS license knows that an
>upgrade can cost several hundred dollars, depending on how many versions one
>has to traverse.
>
>3.         If you are interested in a screen enlargement program with
>speech, MAGic version 13 will be sold for $50, and a service maintenance
>agreement for this software is available for $75. MAGic with speech normally
>sells for $595.
>
>4.         Finally, If you are interested in a print-reading program,
>Freedom Scientific's OpenBookR OCR software is available for $75. OpenBookR
>normally sells for $995.
>
>Again, this offer is available only to registered attendees of the 2015
>National Federation of the Blind convention, and attendees must visit the
>Freedom Scientific booth in the convention exhibit hall.
>
>This is a good example of a significant benefit that is only available to
>people attending conventions of the National Federation of the Blind.
